Hybrid contour and geometric partitioning for accurate plantar foot region segmentation

Our synergistic integration of contour detection and geometric partitioning yields an efficient technique for segmenting plantar regions from static plantar pressure images. Validation on a diverse dataset shows that the proposed approach accurately distinguishes foot-specific regions across five different foot types, including both normal and pathological cases.

Abstract

Our synergistic integration of contour detection and geometric partitioning yields an efficient technique for segmenting plantar regions from static plantar pressure images. Validation on a diverse dataset shows that the proposed approach accurately distinguishes foot-specific regions across five different foot types, including both normal and pathological cases.
